JOB DETAILS

About the role

We are looking for a new Mechanism Engineer with a background in Space Robotics engineering and with heritage on mechanism design, development and testing.

Responsibilities

• Specification of subsystems/equipment technical requirement
• Design and verification of control systems (Matlab/Simulink environment) based on electric actuators, and sensors
• Mechanism Design, from the concept definition to the detailed design to be developed by the team
• Performance and functional testing control systems in real-time (LabView and Simulink Environment) working with the hardware
• Define and implement the development and verification approach, establish the corresponding documents, i.e. design development & verification plans, test plans, design justification documents, interface control documents, verification control documents etc.
• Production monitoring
• Support in definition and implementation of the development and verification approach, establish the corresponding documents, i.e., design development & verification plans, test plans, design justification documents, interface control documents, verification control documents, etc.
• Functional and environmental tests of prototypes and flight equipment
• Participation in proposals for new projects (conceptual definition, preliminary design, preliminary dimensioning, approach to verification campaigns, estimation of costs and necessary resources, etc.)

Requirements

• Master degree in Aerospace Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering or in a similar discipline
• At least 4 years of experience in mechanism/mechatronic engineering
• Knowledge of ECSS standards related to structures and to mechanisms design and verification
• Recognized experience in developing mechanism products (specification, design, verification)
• Capability to develop simplified mathematical models to justify the design concepts
• Experience in mechanisms assembly and testing
• Experience in test planning
